A virtual machine version of NetMRI installed on a VMware ESX server or OpenStack. VMs are often used as collectors for an Operations Center deployment. A NetMRI VM also can operate You can use NetMRI VMs as collectors and as an Operations Center. When deployed in on a virtual platformmachine, NetMRI demands a lot of performance resources that should be sufficient to handle a required number of devices. For more information on how to ensure this, see Benchmarking of NetMRI Virtual Appliances.

Note: In the Operations Center context, when an appliance acts as the Operations Center it uses only a single port, which is the MGMT port for the NT-1400, NT-2200 or NT-4000. Collectors may use multiple interfaces for network discovery and management, including 802.1q virtual scan interfaces. Typically, both the LAN1 and LAN2 ports are used in this manner on each Collector appliance. For more information, see Configuring Network Interfaces for Operations Center.

A NetMRI VM, whether a collector or an Operations Center, is highly demanding of the host's I/O processes. Should you plan to run one or more virtual machines as collectors in an Operations Center environment, you must verify your virtual machine hosts to successfully conform to the requested number of network device licenses. To do so, contact your Infoblox Sales representative or Infoblox Support.
